Kevin Seraphin Avaiable

[Geo123]

A young big with only limited experience is 6'9 and 260 and is only 24 years old.   In a little over 15 MPG he averaged 6.6 PPG, 3.6RPG and almost 1 BPG.  The Wizzards are expecting to lose him.   Low risk potential big reward guy who played pretty well in the playoffs.

"The Wizards expect Kevin Seraphin will test the free agent market, and they’ll attempt to find a sign-and-trade partner for the big man, reports J. Michael of CSNWashington.com (Twitter link). Such a sign-and-trade would be structured so that Washington could gain a trade exception, Michael adds (on Twitter)."

Wouldn't mind him.

The one thing I remember with Seraphin that I liked is that he plays really tough.

Wonder if former teammate, PP gets him to go to the Clips. There's a hole there now.

I ve been impressed few times with his play.

He has skills ,  I wonder if the motor is still there like two years ago.

perhaps, but he cant shoot baskets if he is not in the paint. when he shoots farther away his percentages drop quite a bit.

do the celtics want or need a  player who:

- only plays under the basket on offense, and is not a great scorer anyway.
- is a bit short for a center
- is obviously a back up, the team already has zeller

are the finite resources of the celtics better spend on someone else is my question.

To me he's an active young big who's a rim protector and plays in the paint (yes I want at least one of them on my roster).  He uses his weight and will push people around.  As far as using our resources, if it's only a TPE that's a Great not good deal...  It's all about potential with him.

He'd be a nice third string center but I wouldn't give him anymore than the minimum since Tyler Zeller and Amir Johnson are already on board. Both are better players than Seraphin so his PT would be limited here.

Seraphin wants to play more minutes so he wouldn't come to Boston anyway where he'd be the 6th big man in the depth chart behind Amir, Zeller, Sully, Jerebko and Olynyk.

LAC bound most likely.

It's NOT the job of a power forward or center to shot the ball from outside the paint. That's the job of the guards on the team.
